Changes

Family update: A new job, a health scare, another new job... change is a fact of life. I am a creature of habit. Bad combination!

There is comfort for me and you in the words, "I the Lord do not change." (Malachi 3.6). I have often told people that their "rut" is my groove. I hate change and I embrace routine, and clinging to the character of God is the best way to tolerate changes in our lives. The unchanging character of God - His constant love, faithfulness, abiding presence and infinite wisdom - these ground me on the shifting sands of life.

As a bonus, every year leaves behind proof of these things we know intellectually to be true. We see that, in fact, they are true! And guess what? God uses the changes to change us. So bring it on!
